once again putting out a call for a historian up for doing a podcast episode on Princess Cecilia Vasa with me. The most glorious no-fucks-given agent of royal chaos that dynasty ever produced. Spread the word.

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

It sounds like Spanish national airport operator AENA is very much over Ryanair and MOL. Haven’t seen something this… forthright in quite some time, and goodness me, forthright it is. www.aena.es/en/press/sta...

It would be hard to find in contemporary business history another case such as Ryanair where the dissonance between a company’s operational excellence and the dishonesty of its communications policy is so striking.

Ryanair's impertinence and uninhibited public demands on democratic governments in countries where it operates its flights with the aim of obtaining economic advantages, shed light upon two deep-rooted and unedifying characteristics of this airline company. The first is that Ryanair has a disturbingly plutocratic idea of the political system, i.e. it seeks to intimidate public opinion by slashing its flights, calls for the resignation of ministers from half of Europe and the president of the European Commission, mocks democratically elected politicians, and calls for laws to be changed in its favour because it believes that government decision-making should bend to the interests of the most economically powerful companies such as Ryanair, instead of protecting the "general interest". The second characteristic is Ryanair's communications and institutional relations policy, which is in permanent and deliberate conflict with objective facts and truthfulness. Here are a few examples:

Right (German) BlueSky. You up for a quest. While at my dad's at Xmas, i found a picture and postcard from my godfather, who i have never met. He was a German student. Manfred Maywyrm (?) from Bad Homburg studying in the UK in 1980. Good friend to my parents. They lost touch. Help me find him?
A photo of a brown-haired German man, next to a postcard that reads:

"Dear Moira and Mick, after a long and boring journey i arrived quite well at home, although my parents were already there. Yesterday i slept the whole day long and today i had my first day at school. Dear Moira, i'm very sorry for i could not tell you good bye before i left, but i just did not think of it last night. Also i want to tell you again that the most beautiful day for me was when you asked me to be Gareth's Godfather. I'm looking forward to see you in August. Thank you for the presents and for the nice time we had together, the world's second best darts player and family.
